The Dangerous Book for Boys

The Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn Iggulden and Hal Iggulden

The bestselling book for every boy from eight to eighty, covering essential boyhood skills such as building tree houses, learning how to fish, finding true north, and even answering the age old question of what the big deal with girls is.

This book recaptures Sunday afternoons, stimulates curiosity, and makes for great father-son activities.
